Help with a simple Python program

Homework Statement

Hello. I want to write a program which finds the largest number in the sequence typed in by the user. However, when I type in a number it not only gets printed as the input value but gets re-printed as if I have done the print function of that number (though the final answer is correct). How can I solve this issue and make the program cleaner?

2. The attempt at a solution

seq = [0]
n = int(input("Start typing the sequence (end it with 0)"))
while (n!=0):
        n = int(input(n))
        seq = seq + [n]
print ("The largest number in the sequence is " + str(max(seq)))

try entering the numbers on one line and use the .split(" ") to separate them into an array of values

The argument to input() is the prompt, not the variable to return into. Have a read of the relevant bits of http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html.

How do I enter them in one line? Why does the 'input' function force the numbers to be written in different lines?
